About these numbers

  • Texas has no limits on what candidates can take, so most money goes straight to the campaigns. Outside groups report their spending, but the state’s data doesn’t make clear which candidate it helps or hurts, so it isn’t listed here yet.
  • Texas reports cover one period at a time. These figures are July 1 through Sept. 24.
  • Next report: 8-day pre-election report, covering through Oct. 24, 2026, due Oct. 26, 2026. We’ll update this page once it’s filed.
  • Governor campaigns file with the state, not the FEC, so these numbers come from the Texas Ethics Commission and are read by hand after each state deadline, so a new filing can take a few days to show up here. National groups like the Republican and Democratic Governors Associations report to the IRS; their transfers are listed when they appear in state or IRS filings.
